ZA basic firewall works great in WinXP but I just recently installed ZA basic firewall on Win7 and running into one problem.

I can surf the web but then all of a sudden, I can't surf anymore. I added firefox as a trusted program on ZA basic firewall but to no avail. If I shut down ZA basic firewall, I can start surfing again.

Any ideas?

I would also love to get some feedback on everyone's thoughts on Windows 7 firewall and ZA's basic free firewall. Is there a need for ZA firewall on Wind7? Supposedly Win7's firewall is good.

Thanks all!
